Roast Beef Sandwiches

 

yield: 6 main course servings 

total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 6 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ¾ C mayonnaise
  • ¾ C sour cream
  • ¼ C plus 2 tablespoons jarred grated horseradish (with liquid)
  • ½ tsp grated lemon zest
  • Freshly ground black pepper
    Hot sauce
  • 6 Kaiser rolls
  • 12 slices vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 24 oz freshly sliced rare roast beef
  • 3 loosely packed cups watercress or arugula, or a combination of both
Preparation:

In a small bowl, mix together the onion and 1 tablespoon of the salt. Set aside for 20 minutes. Rinse the onions with cold running water. Drain and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Combine the onions and the vinegar and marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, zest, and 2 teaspoons salt. Season generously with pepper and hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate the horseradish sauce for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the broiler. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Using your hands, shallowly scoop out the inside of each half. Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and arrange scooped-side up. Toast the rolls under the broiler for about 1 minute. Slather the inside of the rolls with the horseradish sauce. On each of the roll bottoms, layer 2 tomato slices and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top the tomatoes with some of the roast beef overlapped into "ruffles" and season with salt and pepper. Top the meat with some of the onions and watercress and cover with the tops of the roll. Serve immediately.

Glaymond 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon 'Asif'
 
Only $15.98/Btl
Robert Parker - 92 Points!

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon 'Asif' was aged in French oak, 25% new. Purple-colored and glass-coating, it has an expressive bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, scorched earth, black currants, and blackberry liqueur. The wine’s full-bodied personality includes layers of spicy black fruits, ripe tannin, excellent balance, and a lengthy finish. Cellar this large-scaled Cabernet for 6-8 years and drink it through 2025. Congratulation to young Mr. Tscharke for an impressive collection of wines!
